Did you Enjoy Summer ??

Hi Everybody,

Did you enjoy the good weather last week? Good because that was probably our summer for this year here in the UK. And today we are back to the dull wet weather that we are famous for.

Never the less it has been a very busy month for me and I have some exciting things to tell you.

First of all the latest "Give Away" is now running on the Blog and this time I have three CD's to give away.

If you haven't been over there lately to see the news then you need to hurry as it is due to end on Saturday 15th June

If you would like to win a copy of the CD "Farmyard Fellows" then pop over to the Blog and add your name now.

It is the first CD ever by a new designer named Clinton Rose and there are delightful animal characters on there for you to cut out and decoupage.

You won't be disappointed and the kids will love it too... and I have three copies to give away

My News

Earlier this year I was invited onto the team of instructors for "The Art Studio" to create classes that would show people how to use any Spellbinders that they have in their personal collections.

TAS is part of the largest online magazine in America and I was thrilled to accept.

These would be paid for classes but would be much more in depth and longer than the YouTube videos.

On the 1st Of June my first class "Create Beautiful Cards with Spellbinders" went live and I am happy to say was very well received.

If you would like to join the class and really get the most from your dies then here is the link ... The Art Studio Class





I have added several videos over the last month and I hope you have enjoyed them and that you are trying out the ideas.

One of them was using Spellbinders Alphabets to personalise any of your projects.

No matter how unusual the name you will be able to add it to the design for a special look and for any occasion too.

Make your recipients feel really good by adding their name and make a "Keepsake" that they can treasure for years to come.



My Shop continues to grow and is doing very well.

Many people have bought items and are now return customers ... coming back for new things or for more of the same. Thank you so much for all your support.

Please note that I am only able to send the Bow Maker outside of Europe via Surface Mail.

All that means is that it will take a little longer to get to you.

You can opt to have it sent via Airmail but you will need to email me about this and then I can invoice you for the extra postage. If I don't hear from you then I will send it the slower way

I hope it won't stop you ordering one though as it is well worth the wait ... and the video will show you some ideas on Using a Bow Maker





Ribbons and Buckles was another idea that was filmed and added to the pages of the website.

And if you don't have the same buckles I have used then work with what you have in our "Stash" of try using fabric or chipboard ones or those that can be cut from Spellbinders.


Please don't forget to pop over to the blog and join the growing list of followers and keep up to date with any future "Give Aways"

YouTube Update

My YouTube views continue to grow and I amazed at how these numbers grow so quickly.

The lovely comments come in daily from people all over the world and I thank every body so much for all your support.

The numbers for today are 2,251,645 with 9,214 followers.

Facebook is also there for you to click the "Like" button and leave me more of your comments, stories or questions.

I will answer as many as I can and if I don't know the answer I will surely try to find it out for you.

Thank You to everyone for all your emails ... I love reading them and I am never too busy to respond.

But please add your email address correctly or I won't be able to do that ... so if you have not had a response then maybe I have been unable to send a reply back to you
